Not Fully stated.

In the editorial columns of last week S
Frederick Citizen we find the GLOWING
MANY of the agricultural journals Of the
country are beginning to discourage the use
of fertilizers. They claim that the forcing
process, incident TO the fertilizers, is inJur
ious to the land and that it is only ques-
ion of time before the farmer will find MIN
self loaded down with impoverished acres
which will refuse to return an abundant
Weld. The old time method of lining, then
applying the barpyard manure, Is the sures'
and safest in the end. BY the time our far
mcrs are through with paying trrtil zel
bills, there is very little left, especially when
the grain gamblers are able TO run wheat up
and down ut pleasure, specializing on the
necessities of the farmer and realiz,n
,h1us ,nls in day, when a lifetime OF Labor
and privann is required by the agricul-
III alst to make both ends meet"
The above is misleading in this, that
it does not allow that it is possible to
buy ~ commercial. fertilizer that will
benefit the soil 1t would appear from
this ARTICLE that every fertilizer is SER
viccable only to force the growth of the
plant, that is, to act simply as an agent
to reduce more rapidly the constituents
of the soil to condition available as
plant food that no plant food is added
and that that already present is over
stimulated.
Now, 1T is unfortunate that the above
is only too true, when applied TO many
brands of fertilizers or the market, but
to make, the sweeping statement that
no commercial fertilizer benefits the
soil is wide of the truth and does injus
ticc to'many excellent brands. With
many of the reliable brands Oh the
market it is not only possible to make
good land better, but we know o.
a number of farms in barren districts
that are producing along with the best
river bottom land and all brought
about by liberal use of honestly made
fertilizers. That there are villalnous
compounds sold and the prices for good
fertilizers are too high none can deny
the bad article will in time have to &C
and prices will adjust themselves.
Commercial fertilizers are not an I'M
mixed evil and good ones at right price s
are a necessity vita the worn-out soil
of the eastern scaboard slope.

France has by q recent action Of her
supreme legislature, ordered an impost
on cereals that will probably bar ont
all exports from this country. While
this has not been considerable it will
probably have the effect of further re-
duclng fore gn granary requirements
and to a certain extent account for
the surplus product of this country.
We are not possessed of sufficient
scholarly attainment in political econ
omy to satisfy ourselves on the point
as to whether this movement will bene-
tit America, or otherwise.
If Free Trade is proper theory, then
we should be benefited by France s
Tariff if High Tariff is the "open
sesame to national greatness IN FL
nance, then we will probably suffer
from Frances shrewd step in economics.
1t would seem that this question of
Tariff should have long since been set
tied by the experience of nations, as it
can not be else than question ofprofit,
one at the expense OF the other ; if 1t
be a question of shrewd dealing be-
tween nations and not a matter that
amy natural law settles, then we are
perfectly content to allow New World
shrewdness to AXE its chances with
Old World solidity Of financial ideas.

If, by the transfer Of ownership, the
B. g. o. railroad becomes a corpora
ton more interested in other cities than
in Baltimore, that city may determine
to make of the Western Maryland all

Give the existing management an

fully competent and ready to serve the

At the recent Mardi Gras in New Or

knights of Proteus were the organiza-
tons which made the finest display, and
both are proposing to dispose Of their
outfits, which originally cost $4,000,
cars and costumes, at $4,000 and $4,000.
Washington is disposed to hire instead
of buying these trappings, as expense
could be saved in that way, and it is
held that J. sum of $4,000, which will
have to be raised by private subscrip-
ton, would be necessary to insure a
cretfitable display. It was urged that
if the carnival was not held this year
it would not be possible to have it for
four years. The Presidential campaign
and the Inauguration would give all
the displays needed for two years, and
